If you haven’t seen the movie yet (how is that even possible?) you should avoid this. It spoils everything.
The dvd for Inception comes out soon and as a result there has been a ton of press about the film. Christopher Nolan gave an interview to Wired about the film. In the interview they ask him about all of the internet theories (like this one I wrote) and he responds to some, but overall remains pretty vague.
The video below is a really cool idea, but could have been executed a little better. There is not a proportional amount of footage for everything to quite match up like it should.
I had never heard of this before, but I find it really interesting.
In the in 1985 Dykes to Watch Out For comic strip entitled “The Rule”, one of the characters claims that she only watches a movie if it satisfies the following requirements:
1. It has to have at least two women in it,
2. Who talk to each other,
3. About something besides a man.
How many movies do you think pass this simple test? The video explains.
This will probably be the last non-Japan related post for a while.
About a week ago I got to see a sneak peek of “Exit Through The Gift Shop.” It’s a documentary about the elusive street artist Banksy. To explain what the movie is about, or to even show the trailer would run the risk of ruining this incredible film. This is a movie I would recommend to anyone and everyone. I enjoyed it more than Kick-Ass, Iron Man 2, or anything else I’ve seen in 2010. Do yourself a favor and go check this one out. Here is a list of cities where it is currently playing.
I guarantee this will become a cult film, it made big waves and Sundance and will probably at least be in the conversation come awards season. The moment I get back from Japan I’ll be headed to a theater to see it again. It’s so great and so profound, definitely check it out.
It will be interesting to see how well Avatar does at the box office. Titanic is the highest grossing film of all time when you add in international earnings. Need a reason to see Avatar? According to SlashFilm, Steven Spielberg had this to say after seeing it for the first time:
The last time I came out of a movie feeling that way it was the first time I saw Star Wars.
- Steven Spielberg
Check out the full list here. I can only remember seeing three of the top 25 on tv, most of them are really old. It seems like a lot shouldn’t belong on the list.
If you have ever watched Entourage or understand how the film industry works, you will enjoy this video. It is particularly relevant because I just got back from a long weekend in LA.
The Oscars are this Sunday. I am calling it now, Slumdog Millionaire is going to clean up. Check out the entire list here. I’ll admit, some are dumb while others are hilarious.
